Just Give In?

                              You are where you are and can do what you can do

So just give in?Not on your life of course not! Like most of the best things in life this is so simple and straight forward. Shame it took me three weeks for the penny to drop. I guess better late than never.

I was 'walking' on just one leg with crutches following my op so as a consequence I also lost the use of my arms and hands; I couldn't carry anything I was making some toast and coffee one morning that finally did the trick and made me think differently.

To eat and drink these 2 simple things would have meant making a small coffee in a big cup, so it doesn't spill, and hopping from one leg to the sofa. Then back in the kitchen for the toast and hopping again on one leg to the sofa. It took a lot of effort that hop. Now I'm wasn't lazy just a little wobbly sometimes and didn't want to take any chances losing my balance and falling over unnecessarily. Also if I put my weight on the healing leg it would have been a disaster.

So, plan B. Get out the flask, make the toast, grab a mug and put it all in a plastic carrier bag. Take both crutches, as steady as can be, swing to the sofa. Take the mug out of the bag, open the flask, pour in the coffee and finally take out the toast. Job done.

Lesson - why make hard work and raise the risk when given a little thought there is often an alternative safer solution?

Life is indeed very funny

I have so much to write here, but off lately I don't feel like doing anything. Ahhh, here I am, back again to square one. Sometime I really miss Ramnik bhaiya's company. He used to be my teacher in Art of living. His famous line- 'Dilpreet- Never become football of other people opinions' and 'Life is indeed very funny'. I also learnt that sometime in life it's good to pause yourself, and make yourself realize that you are the one unique atom in this entire Universe.

It makes me realize how unique I am . Nowhere I can find the same kind of energy which is flowing into my body. It makes me so confident about myself.

Talking about 'Confidence', lately I have started losing confidence on relationships.The near past has brought a series of whirlpool which were so powerful that they uprooted the foundation which I laid with my friends in past years.

My mind is awfully stuck in one question i.e., 'Why do people fall back on relationships and sponge themselves into other materialistic activities?'. I understand we have to be multi tasking and should engage ourselves in different verticals in order to grow professionally. But at the cost of relations??

This made me rememeber the scene from Rocky 5 where Mickey says followings words to Rocky.

'Mickey:  And nature is smarter than people think. Little by little we lose our friends, we lose everything. We keep losin' and losin' till we say you know, 'Oh what the hell am I livin' around here for? I got not reason to go on.'

It's worth to pen down this in our diaries/cell phone/memos and start reconciling ourselves towards better relations...
